Martin Scorsese

[e-ssam]

The most devalued aspect in it had to do with...technicalities and pragmatics.
"planning seems to work, maybe talk to your crew beforehand."
He said he had no idea how light in a scene is meant to be dealt with.
and most of the trouble he had during filming was because of continually going overschedule and over-budget.
But, still? how much can that be talked about ?

If anything, the masterclass shined best when he was going through a scene/film (both in pre production and in general scene discussions)
and how the visual elements interact to create an impression in the minds eye.
and how, as a filmmaker, the job is to "guard" it, because it is the source of inspiration.

Soooo....you're gonna tell me you got a workaround for this?

This looks illustrative.

Hmmm

I only watched Kundun, Gangs of New York and Shutter Island years ago when they aired in theaters.
(i just realized that everytime it was my grandmother who brought us, my sister, my cousin and me to watch those movies).
That and a few excerpts from Taxi Driver and the Last Temptation of Christ.

The thing is, It didn't cross my mind he could be delta until e-ssam mentioned SiTe.
The impression i got from his pictures were mostly alpha (quite convincingly NeTi-ish in the younger ones, SiFe-ish when older).

Now, i really don't know.
I will need to watch more.

tbcd soon.

Well, I just watched the first part of his mc and if he's not SiFe I'll eat my hat.

But if you want to complicate things choose the haberdashery and I'll start getting it ready while you cook up arguments.

or

If you want to learn how to have a film career his class is not for you. If you feel you have a story you have to tell in moving images and sound his class is for you. This is going to be personal because you are all you have. But he'll give some how to advice along the way now and then kinda sorta.

Part 2. The priesthood and film both make sense to me.

When I was gorwing up, there was a priest who made sense about morality and life in the outside world.

Si-->Ti via Fe.

Also, and unsurprisingly, he is a 9.

I guess a lot of his films are about moving to 3.

[Roshan]

...So as long as you stay in the present moment, you can change the aspects of the idea if the philosophy of the idea is still intact.

[Roshan]

...And so I would draw upon this almost like a photographic memory...

and I would try to draw say this shot of Ben Hur's chariot from memory...

I'm very unfamiliar with Scorsese and his work, but I saw Goodfellas multiple years ago and just watched Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore today.

I don't remember Goodfellas well enough to comment about it, but somewhat offhandedly, Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore seems particularly SiFe to me.

After the death of her abusive husband, Alice's life is completely upended, and the entire plot involves her & her son's desperate effort to find balance and comfortably situate themselves in the midst of the omnipresent, chaotic, abusive underbelly of 1970s suburbia—the gateway to which, for Alice, is usually a forceful, masculine figure.

It all felt rather Lynchian, incredibly 9ish (specifically 9-->6), and incredibly Ne-seeking—like Scorsese envisioned a breakage of Si concretization in the form of leaving one's home, unreliable income streams, etc., all to reveal how the subsequently erupting chaos & continual movement sheds light on collective Fe 'facades' anywhere and everywhere. Having a hard time seeing Fi PoLR for this one.
